Mortgage instructions

For those property transactions involving a mortgage, conveyancers and solicitors acting for lenders will usually follow standard conveyancing instructions and any specific requirements as set out by the lender providing the mortgage.

The BSA introduced mortgage instructions (occasionally referred to as the BSA Handbook) for its members on 1 January 2010, ensuring that all its members have access to a full set of standard instructions.

If you have a question regarding the purpose or structure of the BSA Mortgage Instructions, or if you are experiencing technical difficulty with the instructions, please contact the BSA at the following address: charlie.blagbrough@bsa.org.uk

PLEASE NOTE WE ARE NOT ABLE TO ADVISE OR COMMENT ON SPECIFIC LENDING REQUIREMENTS.

If you are a conveyancer and have a query on any of the requirements in the Instructions, you must contact your instructing lender – the BSA can not help you on these issues.
